Default Easy to sell 5sp SC300?

I never really sold any cars to the general public, but I might be getting the itch to drive a Bimmer, and have been eyeing a E39 540i/6 for some time

Any idea how hard it is to sell a manual car? I mean, it is a limited market with only select drivers looking for a stick? In terms of price, I am not asking for much, just a fair price and someone to continue taking care of the car. ChiTwnGs43 has seen the car and detailed it for me.

Hmmmmm, TIA for any advice. Not completely going to do it yet so we will see.

There will be interest for a 5-speed, but if you price it to high, you might not get many inquires.

If its a SC3, I know 2 guy's looking for one and a car dealer on the south-side that jumps on them everytime he sees one, it's where I bought mine.

Whats the asking price?

Thanks for the confidence guys. I have not decided whether I am going to buy the bimmer or not, hell I have not even taken a test drive yet. I am going on a few trips overseas and to the west coast next 3 weeks so the earliest I can even test drive is the weekend of May 2nd if any is still available.

Lex-Fiend, I will PM you if I decide to do this, it is a SC 300 with everything in my sig, just no Cusso Type OS.

Thanks!!!

IMO, not only is the SC coupe a hot commodity amoung tuners, but a 5 speed will add to that demand. The 2JZGE engine is fantastic and I loved that straight six in my gen 1 IS300, never had any issues and it was quiet.
